Ashish Singhi commented on HBASE-13787:
---------------------------------------
In CopyTable we are expecting user the pass arguments "\[\-\-starttime=X\]
\[\-\-endtime=Y\]" in this fashion and in ImportTsv as -D arguments. So what I
think we can expect user to pass the arguments in the same fashion as CopyTable
for all the tools and then internally parse this arguments using Apache's
CommandLineParser.
This is what you are expecting here ?
> use a cli argument parsing library instead of ad-hoc string handling

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13787
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: mapreduce, util
> Reporter: Sean Busbey
>
> several of our mapreduce based tools manually parse strings or rely on system
> properties for hteir configuration. update all to use the same cli argument
> parsing library.
> The particular library used isn't important, but it should be one we already
> bring in for some other reason.
> If possible try to make the arguments consistent across all the tools, since
> you'll be looking broadly.
